Najeeb Ahmad’s mother with members of SDPI stages a protest to demand justice for her son

It is over two years since Najeeb Ahmad, a PhD student at JNU, disappeared from the campus. The night before, he was allegedly brutally assaulted by a mob of students claiming allegiance to the Vidyarthi Parishad. It is also alleged that he spoke derisively against Hindu religion which infuriated a section of students. As news of his disappearance spread, his family members and students of the university protested against the insensitive handling of the affair by the JNU administration. They also blamed the Delhi police for being lackadaisical in their efforts to trace the whereabouts of Najeeb and their failure to even question students who were part of the mob which had assaulted Najeeb. From the very beginning, the police and the JNU administration has tried to sell the whole episode as a fight between two student groups.

This however is not true. Even if we concede that Najeeb might have offended the religious sensibilities of some students, that is not a licence to nearly lynch him. The mater should have been reported to the concerned office within JNU and even a police complaint could have been lodged against him.

But then Najeeb became the precursor of what was to come later: the system of instant justice; where mobs lynch Muslims merely on the basis of suspicion, without any regret or remorse. In most cases, the police are more than willing to dilute cases against the accused and are reluctant to bring the culprits to book. Something similar happened in Najeeb’s case. The only time they started having some semblance of seriousness was when the courts told them to double their efforts to find the missing student. Random searches were made here and there just for appearance sake. But by then almost a year had elapsed and crucial evidence which might have given some clues about his whereabouts were lost. What was worse: malicious leaks were fed to a pliant media which started debating how Najeeb had joined the ISIS.

Two years later, the CBI has now filed a closure report in the case. Alarmingly, the High Court allowed the CBI to do so despite the protestations of the family concerned. One cannot even fathom what would be crossing the minds and hearts of Najeeb’s mother, who has been running from pillar to post to seek justice for her son. Her only consolation if at all it is one: there are many Najeebs who have been failed by the system.

But then, this story is not complete without calling out the system. And the system in this case did not just consist of those who assaulted Najeeb but also by those who claim to be his greatest benefactors. It is certainly true that Najeeb was assaulted by right wing hoodlums but then what of the other kind of violence which this fellow endured, something which perhaps was decisive in his decision to leave the campus. On the night of the assault, Najeeb was not offered any counselling although there is an on-campus medical facility. What is astounding is that the same night, he was humiliated and asked to leave the hostel, not just in presence of the wardens but also the president of the leftist student union.

 As a fresher on campus, Najeeb must have heard that the Left student union would be sensitive and considerate, given his religious identity. This is not hard to believe: the left actually sells itself as the champion of minorities on campus. Imagine the mental agony of this student when he would have realised that no just the administration and the right wingers but also the leftists had turned against him.

Here was a boy, who had freshly got admission in one of the hostels in JNU and probably had heard much about the progressive and leftist traditions of JNU, was witnessing in front of him that the same left, in cahoots with the administration, was asking him to leave the hostel as a form of punishment.  It was perhaps this realisation that made him leave the campus the following morning and left must be called out for its complicity in his disappearance. Who is to blame for his disappearance? Of course, the right-wing hoodlums who beat him up that night but then what about the glorious left which failed to protect him. And not just failed to protect him but in a way facilitated his forced exit from the campus.

It is rather hypocritical that the left has now Najeeb’s disappearance into an annual ritual and another occasion to hold candle light marches for him. This is nothing but pure and callous politics at its best. First you allow a person to get nearly lynched and then you do politics over his disappearance. It must be remembered that unlike many others who have been targeted by the system, Najeeb came from a very humble background. Lacking in social network, the family had no one but JNU students to bank upon in order to seek even a semblance of justice. But then, whether it is the left or the right, only those embedded in power networks have any hope of getting justice.

It is utterly shameful that a campus which prides itself over it sensitive and progressive character failed to even give a call for a day long strike to protest against Najeeb’s disappearance. The reluctance to take up the issue was visible right from the very beginning. It was actually the pressure of common students which forced the administration and leftists to join the struggle; otherwise they were mostly interested in burying the issue. The so-called progressive teachers of this campus acted as if nothing had happened. The very radical teacher’s union just sat quietly through the entire episode and did not even have the courage to protest against the administration. More importantly they refused to see the incident as one which involved the targeting of Muslim identity.

When we remember Najeeb year after year, let us not forget the dubious role that the left played in the entire incident.

The post Why the Left Needs to Be Called out for Its Role in Najeeb’s Disappearance appeared first on SabrangIndia.

 
New Delhi: With no signs or hope for her son’s return, Fatima Nafees is dejected. Not only has her son been missing for two years from JNU, the Delhi HC allowed CBI to file a closure report of the case she had filed against RSS affiliated ABVP students. The 34 page judgement that may read here however allows her the legal option of challenging the closure report through filing a protest petition in the trial court. Were that to happen, in law, Fatima Nafees is entitled to the entire set of the investigation papers.
 
Najeeb Ahmed had gone missing from the Mahi-Mandvi hostel of the Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) in Delhi on October 15, 2016, following a scuffle with some students allegedly affiliated to the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) the previous night.
 
His mother, Nafees, had moved the high court after a month and sought the polices help in finding him. She had requested a Special Investigation Team (SIT) probe which was rejected. Her counsel, Colin Gonsalves, had also asked at various points during the hearings, that the High Court seek the assistance of technical experts to ensure that the reports being filed by the CBI in fact, followed established procedure.
 
It has been two years and the HC order for closure has come as a shock to many. Nafees accused the CBI of colluding with the BJP government and not doing enough to trace her son or investigate and punish the people who assaulted him after which he disappeared.
 
“Najeeb’s assaulters, who are all ABVP members, have been represented at various points by the most expensive and high-profile lawyers. Our case against the media groups and ABVP members for defaming my son, filed at the Patiala [House] Courts went missing from the court premises,” alleged Nafees speaking to Sabrangindia. Counsel for Nafees also argued that there no interrorgation, leave alone custodial interrogation was ever conducted of these ABVP members who are today extremely powerful, politically.
 
“The way CBI was probing the case; its closure report will hardly have any effect on us. They were already not doing anything. More than one year has passed since the case was handed to CBI, it has not gone a single step forward. We are in 2018 where we were in 2016. They did nothing for us. Whatever they did they did only to save nine criminals of ABVP, to destroy evidence and to intimidate witnesses,” Fatima alleged.
 
Counselfor Nafees had earlier said nine students were named in a complaint filed by 18 students, who were eyewitnesses to the alleged assault on Ahmed, yet they were not interrogated. The nine students named in the complaint have denied all the allegations against them.
 
She wanted the CBI chief to resign for showing incompetence in finding her son. She added that she was misguided by the police when she went to file a complaint. “The policemen at Vasant Kunj station told me not to write the names of the attackers because if I did that, there would be no guarantee of his return, but if I filed a missing report, he will be back in 24 hours,” she said in a report by Times of India.
 
“The way he was beaten and disappeared, they want to tell that poor will not be allowed to study but they are wrong. Like after killing of one Rohit Vemula, 1000 Rohit Vemulas were born. Similarly, in place of one Najeeb, now one lakh Najeeb’s would come to study at JNU and they won’t be able to stop them. I am asking people to send more and more children to JNU to study because we will no more live like labourers. Our children will ask the government about their rights. Like a mother is seeking her rights, her children will seek their rights,” she further said in the report.
 
She will be moving the appropriate court to challenge the closure report.
 
“The investigation, in this case, has shown the blatant political interference at the highest levels and the extent to which institutions such as the Delhi Police and the CBI has been severely compromised under the Modi Government. Despite repeated appeals and protests and strongest arguments made in the court, both the CBI and the Delhi Police has stubbornly refused to investigate into the assault against Najeeb the night before he disappeared. Najeeb’s assaulters who are all ABVP members have been represented at various points by the most expensive and high-profile lawyers,” JNUSU said in a press statement.
 
JNUSU president N. Sai Balaji said in a report by The Hindu, “While we are deeply dejected with the verdict of the High Court, we are determined to carry this struggle forward. The CBI and the Delhi Police have become puppets under the Modi regime and it has been apparent in the way in which the investigation over the last two years has been severely compromised.”
 

The post I will challenge CBI’s closure report: Najeeb Ahmed’s mother appeared first on SabrangIndia.

The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) counsel told a bench of Justice S. Muralidhar and Justice I.S. Mehta that the agency have analysed Digital Footprinting technology for tracking the geo-location data of various people but could not find any lead in the case.

The court has been hearing a habeas corpus plea filed by Fatima Nafees, Ahmed’s mother, that her son be produced by police and the Delhi government before the court.

Ahmed, 27, an MSc First Year student, went missing on October 15, 2016 after a fight allegedly with the members of Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad. But the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh-affiliated student body has denied any involvement.

The CBI counsel also told the court that it has once contemplated to file closure report in the case but now they are looking in three more aspects in the probe.

The CBI also told the court that the forensic lab in Hyderabad could not examine three phones as two of them were broken and one pattern lock could not be unlocked.

The counsel of Ahmed’s mother countered the CBI’s submission and said that pattern lock can easily be unlocked by investing Rs 50 in general mobile repair shop and said that it is cannot be accepted that people can reach the moon but cannot break a pattern lock of a mobile phone.

The post No leads yet in missing JNU student’s case, CBI tells HC appeared first on SabrangIndia.

Najeeb, a student of M.Sc Biotechnology, had gone missing from JNU campus on October 15, 2016.

New Delhi: The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) had on Monday had said that it had a “fresh and very important lead” in the mysterious disappearance of Najeeb Ahmed, but the premier investigating agency apparently failed to walk the talk when it told the Delhi High Court that it was awaiting forensic results of call details, WhatsApp messages and location details of nine students who are accused of assaulting Najeeb prior to his disappearance.

The CBI, which was handed over the probe on May 16, 2017, after the Delhi Police failed to trace the young man, had said the same on the previous date of the hearing that had taken place on November 14, last year.

Najeeb (27), a student of M.Sc Biotechnology, had gone missing from the Mahi-Mandvi Hostel of the Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) on October 15, 2016, following an alleged scuffle with students associated with the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP), the previous night.

Senior Advocate Colin Gonsalves, counsel for Najeeb’s mother Fatima Nafees, argued to put on record the fact that the Crime Branch of the Delhi Police caught a random auto driver and peddled a false theory of him going on his own to Jamia Millia Islamia (JMI) university. The CBI had on November 14, 2017, placed this fact on the record of the court that the Crime Branch officers had randomly picked up an auto driver and forcefully extracted a false statement from him.

As the hearing resumed on Tuesday, the counsel for the CBI referred to Monday’s demonstration outside the CBI headquarters, alleging that the protesters blocked the CBI gates. Students of JNU, Delhi University, JMI, Aligarh Muslim University and others had on the call of Fatima Nafees staged a protest outside the CBI headquarters, alleging that the agency is not doing enough to trace Najeeb. CBI SP SS Gurum had assured the protesters that the agency has fresh and very important leads which they would present before the court in today’s hearing.

The High Court bench comprising Justices S Muralidhar and IS Mehta told the CBI that this was a “democratic expression of the anxiety of the people” since the case is dragged on for so long.

The CBI – said Advocate Colin – has not pursued the investigation with the much-needed urgency and now they came to the court requesting an order to speed up the process. He alleged the police wasted one year pursuing the concocted story of the auto driver.

He reiterated an earlier prayer for a court-monitored inquiry. He requested that a retired judge should be appointed by the court to monitor the case and look at all the documents submitted by the Crime Branch and the CBI. The judges have put this plea on hold to look at the CFSL reports.

The CBI had earlier faced flak from the high court for its “complete lack of interest” and not showing any result in its probe into the disappearance of Najeeb, five months after being handed over the investigation.

Over a month after Najeeb went missing, his mother had moved the high court on November 25, 2016, seeking directions to the police to trace her son.
The high court had immediately directed the Delhi Police to “explore all angles” and “cut across political barriers” to trace the young man, saying no one could just vanish from the heart of the national capital.
However, as the police remained clueless about Najeeb’s whereabouts even after seven months since he went missing, the probe was handed over to the CBI nine months ago.

In August last year, when the CBI failed to file a fresh progress report in the case, the high court had rebuked it, saying the probe was not transferred to the agency “for fun”.
On September 6, the court again directed the CBI to take steps to trace Najeeb.

“The probe has not moved an inch since the incident took place. The CBI has done nothing except force me to run from pillar to post in the last one-and-a-half years. Instead, fake stories on Najeeb having joined ISIS are being circulated without any evidence,” Fatima Nafees told the gathering at the protest venue on Monday.

She also hit out at the JNU V-C and said he should be immediately removed from his position. “If he had filed an FIR in the case as the vice chancellor, the police would have taken up the issue more seriously. We want the CBI to question the nine ABVP students who assaulted Najeeb,” she said.

The court has set April 3 as the next date of hearing.

The post CBI Still Clueless About Missing JNU Student Najeeb’s Whereabout appeared first on SabrangIndia.

On Thursday afternoon, a group of ABVP members carried out a demonstration in front of the Dean of the Students office demanding an adequate “protection” to the nine accused in the Najeeb Ahmad case. Incidentally, these are also the students who had assaulted Najeeb prior to his disappearance. The demonstration turned violent and resulted in the breaking of glass doors and flower pots out the Dean of the Students office.

The CBI officials who came over there to serve the notice to assaulters of Najeeb were obstructed until the rest of the student fraternity intervened and notices were served to the ABVP goons, said Mohit K Pandey, former JNU students’ union president.

“In JNU, the administration has been politically shielding those ABVP goons misusing the “power” vested with the administration, instead of taking any proper action on the act of such serious violence. Here, the JNU administration under the leadership of Mr Jagadesh Kumar has given full impunity to the assaulters of Najeeb. Exceeding all limits of such open political shielding, this time, the Associate Dean of Students -Mr. Buddha Singh, who is also the warden of Periyar hostel, tried to stop CBI from serving notices to the members of ABVP which was directed to CBI by the Delhi High Court”,  said former general secretary Satarupa Chakraborty speaking to the media.

“Whenever the students protested against the biasness of the administration towards Najeeb’s assaulters, the administration has countered them with fake cases”, Satarupa added.

“Recently 15 students have been framed for they were opposing UGC Gazette, Show cause notices were served from the Proctor’s office to students including the former JNUSU Joint Secretary Tabrez Hasan for supposedly ‘manhandling’ Mr. Buddha Singh who showed the audacity to raid even girls hostels violating the established rules and procedures of the university. Whereas full impunity is given to Najeeb’s assaulters,” she pointed out the recent incidents.

On October 16, the Patiala Court had asked CBI to seriously investigate and issue notices to the nine accused as the investigating agency had failed to produce any new leads in the case.

Apologize for False Najeeb Story

Here is the DUJ's Press Release:

Press Release

TOI MUST APOLOGISE FOR FALSE NAJEEB STORY

The Delhi Union of Journalists is shocked that a leading daily like the Times of India should have discredited itself by publishing a malicious and misleading report on the missing JNU student Najeeb. The DUJ demands that the TOI issue an immediate apology for maligning a boy who is missing and unable to defend his reputation. 

The TOI report alleged that Najeeb had been surfing the Internet for information on the Islamic State and ways to join it.  It claimed that he had watched many videos on the Islamic State and was “watching a video of the speech of an IS leader on the night of October 14, just before he had a scuffle with ABVP members…” The story by TOI reporter Rajshekhar Jha was published both on the front page and page three on March 21, 2017.

This kite flying story was attributed to unnamed police sources and claimed the police had received “a report on the browsing history of Najeeb’s laptop from Google and YouTube”.  The following day Deputy Police Commissioner Madhur Verma denied that any report had been received from Google and YouTube and said “investigation conducted so far has not revealed anything to suggest that Najeeb had accessed any site relating to IS”. Special Commissioner of Police and Delhi police spokesperson Dependra Pathak also rubbished the TOI story in his statement to Hindustan Times.

It is apparent that the story was meant to discredit Najeeb and find an alibi for the Delhi Police’s inability to trace the missing boy. The story went into great detail on reported Police moves to search for him.

Jha’s clearly motivated story also went into allegations about Najeeb’s medical history, claiming he had been on drugs for obsessive compulsive disorder, sleeplessness, depression, fits, panic attacks and agoraphobia.  Najeeb’s family has previously denied that he was on such medication but the TOI chose to repeat all this in great detail.

The TOI published the false story on its front page with the heading “Najeeb saw IS videos, websites” on March 21, 2017 and another report on page three with a three-column bold headline “Najeeb searched for information on IS”.  However, the retraction it was forced to publish after criticism on social media was carried as a single column item on page 5 with the neutral headline, “Police deny Najeeb report” on March 22, 2017. This was merely a verbatim report of a statement by DCP Verma.

The Delhi Union of Journalists demands an apology by the TOI for its irresponsible and false reports. It also demands that the story be removed from its website immediately.

Najeeb had gone missing on October 15 following an on-campus scuffle allegedly with ABVP members the night before.

Raising the issue during the Zero Hour in the House, Gupta asked the government whether any special measures have been initiated to trace the missing student.

Alleging that the JNU officials were insensitive in the matter, he wondered whether Najeeb will end up just as a statistics about missing persons.

Gupta said the ABVP students allegedly involved in the incident have not yet been questioned. He also claimed that the Vice Chancellor of the University had even refused to meet the mother of the missing student.

“This a clear case of political vendetta. We are witnessing that political vendetta is spreading like a cancer in the country,” he said and asked the Centre to order a CBI probe or any other appropriate enquiry to trace Najeeb.

He further said political vendetta is a “serious” matter and demanded a statement from the government on the issue.

Joy Abraham (KC-M) raised the issue of Father Tom Uzhunnalil, a priest from Kerala abducted by a terror group in war-torn Yemen last year, and sought the help of the entire House for his early release.

“It seems his life is in danger…It seems his health is deteriorating,” he said and sought speedy intervention by the government in the matter.

Commerce Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said that External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj had earlier spoken on the issue and the matter is being “definitely” being taken up. “Since he is an Indian citizen, we all have to be concerned about this,” she added.

Deputy Chairman P J Kurien asked Minister of State for Parliamentary Affairs Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi to convey the members’ concerns to the External Affairs Minister.

In his Zero Hour mention, Nadimul Haque (TMC) highlighted the poor financial condition of several ex-sportspersons who have made the country proud. He said many of them have to take up petty jobs to earn their livelihood. Prem Chand Gupta (RJD) sought a discussion on the issue.

Meanwhile, the Deputy Chairman said the business in the House was “productive and fruitful” compared to the days of disruption, in an apparent reference to the nearly washed out Winter Session. “Let’s do like this. It will be good for us,” he said.

Rajya Sabha has not witnessed any adjournment in the ongoing Budget Session so far.

ये अपील सोशल मीडिया पर 2 दिन से घूम रही है. ये अपील है एक बेबस और मजबूर माँ की जिसका जवान बेटा दिल्ली की एक बड़ी यूनिवर्सिटी से 2 महीने से ज़्यादा समय से गायब है. जेएनयू का छात्र नजीब अहमद 2 महीने पहले ABVB के कुछ छात्रों के साथ हुई झड़प, जिसमें उसे कथित तौर पर बुरी तरह पीटा गया, के बाद से अपने होस्टल से गायब है.

उसी दिन से यूपी से आई हुई उसकी माँ दिल्ली में दर-दर भटक रही है इस उम्मीद में कि कोई तो उसके बेटे को ढूंड कर लाएगा. यूनिवर्सिटी प्रशासन, दिल्ली सरकार, केंद्र सरकार, यूपी सरकार – ऐसा कोई दर नहीं हैं जहाँ इस दुखियारी माँ ने फरियाद ना की हो लेकिन अब तक कोई सुराग नहीं मिला.

हैरानी की बात है कि आज तक ABVP के उन छात्रों से कड़ाई से पूछताछ नहीं की गयी जिन्होंने नजीब के साथ मारपीट की थी. इन छात्रों का लाई डिटेक्टर टेस्ट भी नही हुआ क्योंकि उन्होंने इसे करने से इनकार कर दिया.

वहीं नजीब के रूम-मेट का लाई डिटेक्टर टेस्ट करने का आदेश ज़रूर हुआ. उसे भी कई बार दौड़ाने के बाद टेस्ट अब तक नहीं लिया गया.

नजीब को खोजने में दिल्ली पुलिस का रवैया भी बहुत ही उदासीन रहा है. इसको लेकर उसे कोर्ट से फटकार भी पड़ी जिसके बाद पुलिस ने जेएनयू में बड़े स्तर पर तलाशी शुरू की लेकिन नतीजा अब भी वही.

वहीं नजीब की माँ की सेहत भी बिगड़ रही है लेकिन वो बेटे की तलाश छोड़ने को कतई तैयार नहीं हैं. हर तरफ से हताश हो कर अब इस माँ ने ऐलान किया है की अगर साल के अंत तक उनका बेटा नहीं मिला और दोषी छात्रों को गिरफ्तार नहीं किया गया तो वो अपने बड़े बेटे के साथ आमरण अनशन पर बैठ जाएँगी.

उनकी इस माँग का ओवैसी की AIMIM ने भी समर्थन किया है. MIM के नेता जावेद ख़ान ने कहा हमारी माँग है की नजीब को जल्द से जल्द खोजा जाए और ABVP के मारपीट करने वाले छात्रों को सज़ा दी जाए. सही पूछताछ करके गुनहगार का पता लगाया जाए और नजीब की माँ के साथ इंसाफ़ किया जाए.

इस मुद्दे पर सोशल मीडिया पर नजीब की माँ को बहुत से जाने माने लोगों का समर्थन मिल रहा है. लेखक एवं पत्रकार वसीम अकरम त्यागी ने कई बार इस मुद्दे को उठाया, समाजसेवी नावेद चौधरी अन्य सामाजिक कार्यकर्ताओं के साथ अनेक बार नजीब की माँ का प्रोटेस्ट मार्च में साथ दे चुके हैं.

Soon after JNUSU's call came, the space which used to be the spot for protest, inspiring speeches and meetings by students and teachers alike –a vacant space with powerful grafitti has been blocked with patrol vehicles.

Says a JNUSU press release, “This is the same space in Ad  block where we used to sit  during hunger strike or SIT-IN programs. First, blocking the space with vehicles, and now, installation of gates clearly indicate how the JNU VC has come down to even apply such cheap tactics to keep students away from raising voice. After having utterly failed to scare the student activists with notices, fines, disciplinary actions etc., the JNU VC is now trying to take away the spaces of protest. We want to reiterate, this university has a history of struggle and no gates can put a stop to this.” The statement was issued by Satarupa Chakraborty, General Secretary, JNUSU.

This move of the JNU VC came, after issuing circulars and reminders to the students of Jawaharlal Nehru University against carrying out protests, sit-ins and public events outside the Administration Block, the university on Sunday night “caged” the area traditionally used by the students to carry out protests.

Dubbed as “Freedom Square,” the students see the move to install iron grills as attack on their Freedom of Expression and a crackdown on dissenting voices.

The students have currently been using the space for an indefinite sit-in to demand justice for Najeeb Ahmed, the JNU student who has been missing for over 50 days now. Earlier this year, when some students of the university were charged with sedition, the others had camped there while on a hunger strike.

When the students refused to vacate the spot and refuted all moves by the university to block the sit-in space, the administration intentionally parked four cars on the both sides of the sit-in space and did not remove them even during the day, when they actually required them.

Late on Sunday night, while hundreds of students marched from Ganga Dhaba to the Administration Block against the token punishments to the ABVP members, the university had the protest site grilled within a couple of hours. The move came under severe criticism from students, with the former JNUSU vice-president tweeting: “JNU’s Freedom Square now equipped with a jail [sic].
